Manifesto

Would have defo been a close one on aggregate but would of fancied Sheffield still

A very easy win for Sheffield in the end. Not much fight in the patched up KL side except from a fantastic Anders Rowe, heat 4 he did everything right to keep Woffy behind him. Kvech showed some class and looked better each race. NKI tried but couldn’t lay a glove on the tigers heatleaders. The guests cost them the final in the end all 3 were very poor. Jack Holder on another level tonight, Woffy and Chris almost on that level. Great to see Kyle back to his old self, really come good last few weeks. not sure why Pickering was so angry with Gilkes in heat 14, he’d been struggling for speed all night just needs to put it behind him and move on to the next

Lawson and Zach Cook.. decent guests to be fair. But not as good as Klindt and Tobi who would probably be worth 20 points between them

Sheffield to win by 14.. Jack and Woffy 5-1’s in 13 and 15 to bring the house down

Some great racing. Fricke and Bewley absolutely flying worth the watch. Yes the crowd looked poor which was a surprise with the weather. BV need to keep that kind of form up if they’re going to challenge the top 2

Tigers way too good for BV tonight. Bewley been class in both meetings at Owlerton this year

50-40 home win.. Harris is generally better than Kurtz round Owlerton. Think Chris Holder and Pickering will be the difference. Going round Hillsborough before to watch the footy.. might be abit sozzled so if anyone sees me staggering about on bend 4 in a gazza shirt come say hi

Get a life ffs

Ipswich fans won’t know how to handle tai throwing them a compliment

I could tell tales of arguments at speedway but 99% of fans are just genuine speedway fans. As for the bend 2 barmy army (about 6 people) they popped up after Covid I don’t think they’ve been going for long. The rivalry between Ipswich and Sheffield is down to both having strong teams and last years final was mostly respectful

I think karmas caught up with him.. he’s only had a couple of poor ish meetings so far, he’s in top 3 averages in league I do believe?

A crappy little track our riders tend to hate.. anything less than a 10 point loss and no injuries id see as a good result

Why so salty??

Fair play to KL really got out the gates and looked comfortable on the track, Sheffield the complete opposite didn’t gate well all night and seemed abit all over the place. 10 points is a very competitive gap, don’t think it will the mullering like last time at owlerton. Could be a tense second leg

Sheffield coming back strong now. Got to get the reserves going both look very short on confidence in the top league compared to the championship

Not convinced Picko is going to be fit for this. Seems abit of a tester meeting for him and wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t ride 4 heats.

Not many good 7 pointers out there right now.. Zagar? Lebedevs? Kvech? Cook is a consistent rider who has potential and maybe now a huge point to prove id be on phone if I was KL

That’s what I was thinking. I’d even fit him in at Sheffield for Howarth but that won’t happen

Cook can hold his head up high he has done well this season. I can see him going Kings Lynn or maybe even BV to join his brother

Going to make the trip down for this one. Not sure if we’re planning to get a guest in for Pickering but Richard Lawson would be my choice. think it will be tight, Holders and Tai could be the difference in the later heats. Hoping to see Musielak back at it always provides entertainment

Very sad news for Doyle and the league in general. Speedy recovery. Laguta to replace him would be my guess

That’s a good question, I assume a stopwatch is used. Chris Holder won in under 60s and Steve Worrall got a fast time in heat 1. Holder was flying the bike was really pulling him out of the bends once wheels were in line even Woffy was well behind him

The track was obviously on point tonight Jack was absolutely flying in heat 13 but didn’t think he’d be near the TR. Ricky Ashworth’s record finally broken. it was a strange meeting in a way, there was a huge gulf in class with Woffy, Chris and Jack (apart from his second ride) against the Brummies, Howarth was on pace with Worrall, Cook, Sedgmen and Brennan. The reserves were all fairly poor, Edwards had his moments but faded when he’d got himself in a scoring position. i suspect it will either be Lampart or Sedgy to go in place of Lindgren. Worrall and Cook are good riders. Pawlicki has more to offer and will probably do better riding at number 3/4

R/R for Pawlicki is basically Brum writing off this match. Brennan may put up a fight but unless Worrall and Cook gate well on night could be a 60+ score for Sheffield

Tungate and Etheridge would be great choices. I imagine Harris comes cheaper though. weather forecast looking okay ish for tomorrow
